There is a bus with 7 girls.

Each girl has 7 bags.

In each bag, there are 7 big cats.

Each big cat has 7 little cats.

Each cat has 4 legs.

Question: How many legs are present on the bus?

9814

9815 if you include the bus driver who is a unidexter
 
or maybe 76,846 (plus the driver)



There is a bus with 7 girls. (14 legs)

Each girl has 7 bags.

In each bag, there are 7 big cats. (7x7x7x4)=2401 x 4 = 9604 legs
Each big cat has 7 little cats.

Each cat has 4 legs. (2401x7)= 16807 x 4 = 67,228 legs

14 + 9604 + 67,228 = 76,846

9620 assuming all the little cats are with the big cats in the bags and all the bags are with all the girls on the bus and the bus has a driver.

JohnD ... Check your maths ...

10990

three things to add together:

girls' legs (G)
big cats' legs (BC)
little cats' legs (LC)

G = 7girls x 2legs = 14
BC = 7girls x 7bags x 7big cats x 4legs = 1372
LC = 7girls x 7bags x 7big cats x 7 littlecats x 4legs = 9604
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
= 10990

And the driver if you wish, and the conductor... and the spider under the seat? It has to be a trick question :eek:
 
damn - trazor beat me while i was faffing around with my layout :cry:
